[Skip Fox]

All the Pretty Horses is a decent book (unlike the movie). McCarthy's prose
here is reminiscent of Hemingway, as the later work in the trilogy (of which
this is the first), and even beyond. In his early work the prose was
Faulknerian. When he focused on the West (after the great Blood Meridan), he
seemed to gravitate toward a spare prose with a sense of a dry, hard reality
and laconic characters. These are fully realized (if a bit cartoonish . . .
as Hemingway is a cartoon . . . as Michelangelo drew cartoons . . . as film
noir traffics in cartoons . . . i.e., a wide and respectful sense of the
cartoon . . . perhaps a paring away to show only an essence?).

 

One of my favorite McCarthy novels (which everyone else berates me for) is
Child of God. One of the most ironic titles in contemporary literature. (And
yet . . .)
